How To Tell When He's Just SO Into You!!
By Staff Writer

After devouring the best-selling book and flocking to see He's Just Not That Into You, we all know how to tell when a guy's just, well, NOT that into us. But really - isn't the important thing to be able to tell when he IS into you? BettyConfidential.com surveyed dozens of men across the country to find out what signals they send when they're helplessly hooked on a woman.

"I was tired of playing a guessing game with my girlfriends about whether a guy was into me or not," says Carrie Seim, the Betty Confidential.com dating columnist who researched and wrote the article. "So I decided to ask real men how their behavior changed when they were really into a girl. The guys were a bit sheepish at first, but they came clean with some fascinatingly honest responses. Who would have guessed that something like taking you to Target or having toilet paper on hand means a guy's just so into you? It's completely changed the way I look at dating and men. Forget waiting for him to send me flowers, I'm waiting for him to smell my deodorant!"

The results of Betty's investigation - six foolproof ways to tell when He's Just SO Into You:

1. He Doesn't "Tuesday" You: In our busy, busy, busy world, it's easy for guys to say they'd love to see you but just don't have time. Makes sense, but it sure doesn't make love.
2. He Hits the Target (and the Wal-Mart) Not all men hate shopping. And not all Canadians say "eh? " But if there's one form of shopping men abhor above all others, it's errand shopping. So if a guy offers to run to Target or Wal-Mart with you (without threat of death), you know he's into you like nobody's big-box business.
3. He Makes the Bed … and Buys Toilet Paper. "I wash my sheets," explains Michael, 29, a comedian, about how his behavior changes around a girl he really likes. "And I make sure there's toilet paper in the bathroom."
4. He Bro-mances You at REI, Boot Camp or 10,000 feet
   If a man invites you to hang with him in the mountain-climbing section at REI, sweat with him at boot camp or skydive with him from a Cessna, he's turning the bro-mance flames up to high.
   These "man'tivities" (normally reserved for their best guy friends) are designed to prove that he's well equipped … in the testosterone department.
5. He Goes Ahead and Makes Your Day
   When a man is serious about a special lady, he goes the extra mile. He makes you feel like you're worth it, not worthless.
   Sure, everyone has rotten days and bad moods. But for the most part, a solid guy will cheer you up and not bring you down.
6. He Puts a Ring On It - or at Least a Boombox
   Guys don't need any special reason to act like idiots, but being in love with someone is a great excuse.
   

If a man's really into you, he'll want to announce it to the world. All you have to do is look for the clues: First he'll want to snap photos with you, then he'll update his Facebook status, and before you know it, he'll want to put a ring on it. Or at least, put a John Cusack move on it.

Sure, he may look stupid. But who cares? You'll finally know - he's totally, officially, just so into you.
